5 CFR 410
Legal Deadline:
None
Abstract:
Since the December 1996 publication of the final rules on training, subsections 5 CFR 410.309 (continued service agreements) and 5 CFR 410.404 (expenses of training and meetings) have caused confusion in agencies, the agencies have asked for clearer regulations. 5 CFR 410.309, as written, omits allowance for agency heads to delegate authority to define requirements for continued service. It also omits circumstances when the requirement for continued service can be waived, which has caused confusion for agencies in developing their continued service agreements. Amending 5 CFR 410.309 returns to regulation, language removed in 1996 that has had the unintended effect of limiting agency head authority in the area of continued service agreements for training. With increasing interest in academic education and service agreements, agencies have expressed concern about their legal authority with regard to theses agreements.
As written, 5 CFR 410.404 does not sufficiently clarify distinctions between training and meetings. 5 U.S.C. 4109 provides agencies authority to pay the expenses of training. 5 U.S.C. 4110 provides them authority to pay the expenses of meetings. However, 5 CFR 410.404 blurs the distinctions between these two; amending it would make clear the distinctions, and clarify conditions under which a meeting may be considered training.

Abstract:
The Office of Personnel Management is issuing proposed regulations to clarify and redefine the limitations on locality rates of pay for categories of non-General Schedule employees approved by the President's Pay Agent to receive locality pay. This proposed change was prompted by a recent Executive order that delegated the President's authority to determine such limitations to the President's Pay Agent. The proposed regulations will ensure that all employees receiving locality pay are treated consistently.

A current regulation is also corrected to comply with a provision of law authorizing use of alternative work schedules for civilian nonappropriated fund employees of the armed services.

Abstract:
These regulations amend part 537 of Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, entitled Repayment of Student Loans, Published in the "Federal Register" on January 11, 2001 (66FR 2790). These provisions give agencies greater recruiting and retention flexibility by; removing the restriction of this incentive to professional, technical, or administrative personnel; removing the limitation of this incentive to employees covered under General Schedule pay rates; and broadening the types of loans which qualify under this part under the Higher Education Act of 1965 and the Public Health Service Act; requiring agencies to report annually to OPM on their use of this incentive.
In addition, these provisions require OPM to report annually to Congress on agencies' use of this incentive. These regulations reflect the amendments to 5 U.S.C. 5379 (the authorizing statute for Repayment of Student Loans) contained in Public Law 106-398, the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001.
